Supervisors to LGBT Athletes: Step Out of the Closet

In light of the San Francisco Giants’ recent World Series sweep, members of the Board of Supervisors are teaming up with LGBT organizations to encourage professional athletes to come out of the closet.

District 9 Supervisor David Campos and District 5 Supervisor Christina Olague held a joint press conference early Tuesday to promote The Last Closet, a campaign to end homophobia and provide support systems for male LGBT athletes in professional sports.
